Tornabuoni Arte pays homage to Alberto Biasi with a solo exhibition held at the Florence-based gallery which opens on Thursday May 26, 2022.

Alberto Biasi (Padua, 1937) is one of the most interesting artists of postwar Italy. He co-founded Group N in Padua and is a pioneer of optical-kinetic research.

Tornabuoni Arte has already dedicated three solo exhibitions to this artist, twice in Par- is (2015 and 2022) and once in London (2017). Around 50 artworks will be exhibited in Florence, with a specific focus on his most recent production of the Torsioni cycle, among the most iconic pieces of Biasi’s oeuvre.

The exhibition also welcomes the addition of historical pieces – part of Biasi’s personal collection – from the 1960s and the 1970s, along with optical-kinetic sculptures.

In addition to Ursula Casamonti’s introduction, the volume that accompanies the exhibition includes critical commentaries, some excerpts from the book Covid -19 Lockdown dell’Arte written by Alberto Biasi during Italy’s first lockdown, and an addendum edited by Marta Previti.
